I&#8217;ve been to plenty of protests and I&#8217;ve never been pepper-sprayed by the police &#8211; mostly because when the police tell me to do something, I comply. And I also know that the older protesters are, the more obnoxious they tend to act because they think they can get away with just about anything because who&#8217;d dare to pepper spray their old ass.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, the woman in the picture is Dorli Rainey and even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlanticwire.com\/national\/2011\/11\/dorli-raineys-history-activism-she-became-occupy-icon\/45075\/\">the Atlantic Wire<\/a> says she&#8217;s been an activist for a while. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldladyincombatboots.com\/?page_id=2\">On her blog<\/a>, she calls herself a troublemaker.
